If you're using Internet Explorer, be advised Microsoft has released a

security advisory for Internet Explorer. This would allow an attacker

to run code under the context of the logged on user. The only

workaround is to disable active scripting, which isn't such a great

workaround because it breaks so many sites. You can find the Microsoft

Advisory here:

Microsoft Security advisory (917077)

There are a number of sites which are already using exploits for the

vulnerability, so if you haven't been lately, start practicing safe

browsing habits again. All that's required is a visit to activate the

exploit. If you're interested in potential patches, there are two out

by a couple of security companies. Neither fix the problem but instead

mask the vulnerability as fixing it would require changing Microsoft's

files. However, neither are supported by Microsoft (no big surprise).

Microsoft has previously said they plan on releasing an update on 4/11,

the normal monthly patch day, but  who knows? They may move it up.

Read, consider risk, etc. As far as the two patches:

eEye Digital Security

Determina

And yes, this does affect up to Internet Explorer 7 beta.
